Complaint against Tent Dealer
(Comments from a reader)
This is to alert all NGOs and other human welfare organisations. A fradulent tent dealer (commission agent) Abid Hassan Sabri of Al Farooq Enterprises, Kasur is trying to loot people by selling tents in dollars not in rupees at the time of this great grief and sorrow. I request to the President of Pakistan, Chief Minister of Punjab, Commissioner Relief Committee and all other authorities to please save small NOGs and innocent people from these fraudulent people, who are making money by selling low quality tents. This kind of people should be black listed and they should be removed from Tents Manufacturers Association Pakistan. If anyone wants to know more about him and wants the copies of his correspondence please call me at my mobile phone number 0300-6123940. Tahir Hussain
